Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, County Dublin, Ireland | Cathedral

Welcome to Saint Patrick's Cathedral. In 1991 we celebrated 800 years of worship at Saint Patrickâ??s Cathedral. Many people wonder why there are two medieval Cathedrals in Dublin, one was outside the city walls, one inside. Since disestablishment, Saint Patrickâ??s Cathedral has been the National Cathedral for the whole of Ireland, while Christ Church has been the diocesan Cathedral of Dublin and Glendalough.
We are glad to welcome over 300,000 visitors each year, their offerings are the major part of Saint Patrick's Cathedralâ??s income. But aside from the glory of the building and its many monuments, the main purpose of Saint Patrick's Cathedral is worship, and we are unique in having two sung services every day except Saturday.
We hope that you will join in this worship and gain something for yourself from this formal offering of words and music which has gone on here for so many centuries.
We will be glad to welcome you to Saint Patrickâ??s Cathedral.
The formal prayers offered daily in Saint Patrick's Cathedral serve to encourage the worshipper by offering a way of praying together with other people No form of prayer is "wrong", but sometimes we need encouragement and inspiration, and there is nothing wrong with using someone else's prayers, in the same way that a visit to an art gallery might inspire us to draw or paint something ourselves.
